This function returns the hypergeometric distribution.
HYPGEOM.DIST(x,n,M,N,cumulative)
The arguments are as follows, and are truncated if not integers:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| x | An integer representing the number of successes in the sample |
| n | An integer representing the size of the sample |
| M | An integer representing the number of successes in the population |
| N | An integer representing the size of the population |
| cumulative | A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, then this function returns the cumulative distribution function; if this argument is FALSE, it returns the probability mass function |
If any argument is nonnumeric, the function returns the #VALUE! error value.
Accepts numeric data for all arguments except cumulative. Returns numeric data.
